offensive-iot

IoT and embedded device security testing methodology. Covers hardware reconnaissance (UART, JTAG, SWD, SPI flash, I2C EEPROM, eMMC chip-off), firmware acquisition (vendor portals, OTA capture, flash dump, binwalk extraction), firmware analysis (filesystem mounting, binary triage, hardcoded secrets, default credential discovery), bootloader attacks (U-Boot console, secure-boot bypass, fault injection), runtime attacks on embedded Linux/RTOS (busybox CVEs, MTD writes, /dev/mem), wireless protocol attacks (Zigbee, BLE, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, Thread/Matter, sub-GHz), MQTT/CoAP/Modbus/BACnet/OPC-UA exploitation, mobile companion app analysis, cloud-IoT API abuse, and side-channel/glitching basics. Use for IoT pentest, smart-home assessment, ICS/OT testing, or embedded vulnerability research.

# IoT & Embedded — Offensive Testing Methodology

## Quick Workflow

1. **Recon the device physically** — identify SoC, flash, debug interfaces, radios
2. **Get the firmware** — vendor download, OTA capture, hardware dump, or chip-off
3. **Unpack and analyze** — filesystems, services, secrets, default creds, vuln components
4. **Establish runtime access** — UART shell, telnet/SSH default creds, exploit chain
5. **Pivot** — to companion app, cloud API, neighboring devices via mesh / wireless
